OLD DREDGE SUNK.
End of the Fremantle.
Towed by two motor launches, the hulk of the old dredge Fremantle, which was sold in January to Mr. J. E. Hall, of Fremantle, for scrap, was taken out of the harbour yesterday morning and sunk near the Stragglers, a series of rocks seven miles due west of the harbour. It was intended originally to beach the remains of the dredge near the wreck of the old State steamer Kwinana, at: Rockingham, and break up the two hulks simultaneously; but it was stated yesterday by Mr. Hall that owing to the guarantee required that work would be completed within a stipulated time it was not worth the trouble. The work of dismantling the dredge has been proceeding at Victoria Quay for several weeks, and little except the shell remained yesterday.
